sucks about the failed booty call.

and no, i wouldn't try to go for 500 again right away. it might have felt easy but you felt like shit the next few days. you don't need to hit an absolute 1RM PR every week.

what do you know, completely changing the way you run can be good but also get you hurt.

low sleep DEFINITELY affects sex drive for me. even just a couple of days in a row. can't hate on wanting the extra cash but weird hours mess you up in all kinds of ways.

WEIGHT: ???
SORENESS: none
ACHES/INJURIES: left shoulder, left calf cramping like crazy since yesterday
MENTAL STATE: okay
STOPWATCH: ???

- warm up

- DLRVJ
couldn't even touch rim off SVJ. shoulder was buggin, too. careful. did a few reps from one, two and three but it was ugly. unsteady, dead legs.

- stretch x 15 mins

- squat 185 x 20
harder than it should have been.

- stretch

was supposed to work out last night but ended up working until too late. on the plus side, i was wiped out when i got home so i went to bed really early and consequently got up really early. will continue to push my sleep schedule up in the coming weeks but i'm over any delusions that i can do top-end work in the morning. my body is just not ready, even if i'm well-rested and awake.

was supposed to do jumping assistance stuff and upper lifting yesterday but was wiped out so i bagged it and cooked instead.

WEIGHT: ???
SORENESS: hams a little
ACHES/INJURIES: left shoulder achey
MENTAL STATE: good, frustrated
STOPWATCH: ???

- warm up

- DRLVJ x 5,5,5 + 5 RL
submax, just practicing. court was supposed to be open but the gd website was wrong again. that hasn't happened too too much recently but very frustrating when it does.

- pogo x 10,10,10
focus on extending through the toes

- squat MSEM 305 x 3,3

- superset x 2
-- DB OHP 55s x 6,6
-- pull up +20 x 7,6

- stretch

Going to have to figure out how to change my squats and deads though.

end of caloric restriction = MOAR VOLUME.

left shoulder is sore this morning. not painful in the way it was most of last year, though.

i would just start drilling it with a ball in your hand. both sides, lots and lots of submax reps that start with a dribble or two. movement efficiency/learning the skill is the first step. see, e.g., the t0ddday method that i've been advocating. don't add max effort until you can do the movement you're looking to do confidently and well.

measurement is easier with no ball because you can use amount of hand over rim as your ruler, but practicing with a ball is more, um practical.

or, just watch the dream teach lebron: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CH4AjDgl1Ng

Yeah fuck him, the majority of people out there are trainers and the worst ones tend to be the "actual trainers"

yep. this is also why i've stopped offering advice to people. more often than not, even if you have good advice and good intentions, if you offer it unsolicited they think you're an asshole. because giving unsolicited advice, free of any context, is for assholes.

the tim in vermont one rep max calculator gives me an estimated max of 395 thanks to my 230x16 performance yesterday. this shows how useless those calculators are, at least at higher reps.

Quote from: LBSS on February 01, 2015, 04:15:48 pm
squat MSEM 285 x 6

  ;D

not sure what you're getting at there. 395 may be silly high for me but this set was a bunch of intentionally submax singles that i squatted as quickly and explosively as possible. i'm pretty sure i could squat 285 for at least 8 right now, maybe 10. which, incidentally, would give a still-too-high one rep max estimate of 380. i don't think i'd be good for much more than 330 at the moment.
